Optical spectroscopy of candidate Alpha Persei white dwarfs

S. L. Casewell, P. D. Dobbie, S. Geier +2

As part of an investigation into the high mass end of the initial mass-final mass relation we performed a search for new white dwarf members of the nearby (172.4 pc), young (80-90…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Empirical determination of the precision of stellar radial velocities and projected rotation velocities

R. J. Jackson, R. D. Jeffries, J. Lewis +58

The Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) is a large public spectroscopic survey at the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope. A key aim is to provide precise radial velocities (RVs)…

Cool White Dwarfs Selection with Pan-STARRS Proper Motions

M. C. Lam, N. C. Hambly

The use of Reduced Proper Motion in identifying isolated white dwarfs has long been used as a proxy for the absolute magnitude in a population with known kinematics. This, however,…

A maximum volume density estimator generalized over a proper motion-limited sample

Marco C. Lam, Nicholas Rowell, Nigel C. Hambly

The traditional Schmidt density estimator has been proven to be unbiased and effective in a magnitude-limited sample. Previously, efforts have been made to generalize it for popula…

Gaia-ESO Survey: The analysis of pre-main sequence stellar spectra

A. C. Lanzafame, A. Frasca, F. Damiani +70

This paper describes the analysis of UVES and GIRAFFE spectra acquired by the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey in the fields of young clusters whose population includes pre-mai…
